Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force soldiers prepare its missile interceptor

Earth to Kerry, the "international community" and the United States have accepted North Korea as a nuclear power since the 1990s, and did nothing about it.
North Korea Launches 1st Missile Attack at the United States.......
Threatening nuclear war against the only nation ever to experience nuclear attack is bound to push some hot buttons in Tokyo.
Japan’s GDP is 5th in the world, at about $4.5 trillion. Of which they currently spend about 1%, about $45 billion on defense each year.
With the US more than willing to provide Japan with the technology it needs to create nuclear weapons, including the very high grade nuclear fuel *and* the uniquely high quality nuclear klystron tubes that very precisely set off the explosives that thrust the nuclear matter together creating a much greater yield, yeah, Friday is about right.
That is, unless we have a few of our own we are willing to let Japan use. Which we probably are.
Comparatively, North Korea’s nuclear and missile technology is first going on second generation, and is even questionable if it can work. Which it might, but getting it to target through a gauntlet of more advanced anti-missile missiles, is well, say, problematic.
After 68 years, the Japanese probably have a lot of tension built up that they would be more than happy to take out on a belligerent pain in the rear end, like North Korea.
Going by liberal logic, North Korea would not have nukes if there was a law passed banning them from having nukes.

“The rhetoric that we are hearing from North Korea is simply unacceptable by any standards,” he told a news conference in Seoul alongside South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-Se
A sternly worded reprimand if there ever was one! Way to go! What are you going to DO about it????
I would like to make a statement to the worlds political leaders...
It is a bad idea to force Japan to go nuclear.
I wonder, do these political leaders, like democRATs/liberals/progressives/marxist (sorry for the redundancy), think that when they wake up in the morning, world history begins?

Could you imagine being the only nation to have your cities nuked three times?
Man... unluckiest nation status award.
Mrs. Clinton retired and, like, on DAY ONE all of this started getting reported. LOL
The Republicans need to start whispering about what a failure she was - now. But they won’t.
These kinds of Nork statements are largely for domestic proles’ consumption. The Norks can’t possibly believe that if they shoot a first missile towards Japan, and Japan shoots that missile down, that the shooting-down is a provocation meriting a nuclear response. Ludicrous. “How dare you defend yourself from our missiles? Now we nuke you.”
I’m increasingly of the opinion we need to focus on Regime Change in Norktown. Work at the highest levels with China, Japan, ROK and Russia on how to do it with the least casualties, how to deal with refugees and starvation/ thirst/ medical care, and set up a “Germany after WW2” split government for 20 years, then hold a plebiscite. But enough already with the Krazy Kim Klan.
I hope they wait until after Obon.
So N. Korea sees Japan’s committment to defend itself as “provocative” and “threatening”.
Boy, sure glad our gov’t doesn’t think like that.
I hate to be redundant, but this all makes sense from the standpoint of Obama wanting retribution on the US.
China is behind this, and NK is their proxy. Japan and SK will go, which leaves Taiwan all by it’s lonesome.
There will be a China-Russia axis, and instead of worrying about a West/East European block, all of Europe will fall under that axis, and they’ll go without a shot.
You know what the bankrupt countries of Europe are all saying about Germany and the US right now? We planned this as a bloodless way of taking over their countries. I’m not kidding. I have a family member in Greece, and they see all of this austerity business as invasion by other means.
That Un used the word ‘unavoidable’ should have put all the news stations on a war footing, and we should be at Defcon 2 right now. Our planes should be in the air.
The thing that pissed FDR off the most was hearing that MacArthur allowed the Japanes to bomb our airfields with our planes on the deck. Oddly, two generals got fired for this, but somehow he managed not to.
Dammit Kim... DON’T bother with Japan. Drop a fat one on the Capitol building in DC.
Just as Messrs. Obama and Hagel cut the Precision Tracking Space System completely out of the budget:

Lots of rumors that Japan was doing weaponized research at the #4 reactor in Fukushima Daiichi. That reactor had multiple strange fires and events even though no fuel was loaded at the time of the earthquake. So their program capabilities might be severely curtailed since many of their reactors are shutdown. Someone in North Korea intelligence has determined the Japanese are currently weak for some reason.
Just send this clown to the recycle bin. How much longer of his garbage?
